Evening update of Fantasyland Expansion 9.22.12 ( Interesting tidbit )

[djkidkaz]

Just got home, here are a few pics of some of the goings on:

• 2nd castle wall looks just about done, has all its lights and torch. I could see this opening any day
• They also added LED lights to the castle walls
• Railing by Speedway and Dumbo is out from behind the wall and looks great
• They also added new lighting by the railing that matches Storybook Circus
• Storybook Circus sign looks close to done, it has both its banners now, for some reason the lights were not on
• Interestingly inside the yellow tent there is a Fastpass Clock, so it would seem to indicate this is more than just a seating area or food location
• The lights over the walls of Storybook Circus have twinkle lights on them
• The lights were on inside Belles Village

Just want to say sorry for the blurry nighttime photos, I did use my new iphone 5's camera but its just difficult to get good shots when your on your tip toes holding the camera over your head trying to get a shot of at least something. Im gonna try to head back to the park soon during the daylight to get some shots of Tangled area and the mine train. I did notice that they replaced the simple scrim around the tangled bathrooms area with a full on wood wall now.

Sooo excited to hit refresh and see that you had just posted.
Thank you again.
Still figuring out my iPhone5 too. Coming from an LG Banter, it's a steep learning curve for this middle aged suburban mom.
I will be in the World in 7 weeks. I so appreciate your frequent updates!

Would you mind telling me where exactly this picture was? And do you know what that bluish light is? Thanks and another awesome update!

So, it's opening in the next few months and we still don't have a clue what the Yellow Tent is, huh?

Food and Beverage. Perhaps the fastpass+ Entrance for the sideshow is also nearby.

Probably this.

Yeah, the fastpass clock must be for Pete's Silly Sideshow, can't see there being anything in the yellow tent that would require Fastpass.

Didn't someone say that the yellow tent would house the fastpass for Dumbo?
I don't think Disney has the intention of keeping Dumbo's fastpass in Philharmagic forever

It's been suspected of being food given the color of the tent on site plans, but I don't think any insiders have ever confirmed any specific plan for the yellow tent.

Fastpass machines for Dumbo makes a lot of sense given that we know the ride has FP and it would be a better location than the currently used ones. If Pete's Silly Sideshow ends up with FP, then they could have machines for that as well in the area. So, my question now is: would there be FP machines and food services? I'm just surprised that if the yellow tent is for food that we haven't heard anything about the details (unless I missed it) -- has there even been any permits for the equipment for food preparation/sales for that?

Saw it today, it's Dumbo fast pass in the tent.

 

[Otamin]

Looking good!

 

[CountryBearFan]

Yes, it is. FastPass distribution for The Barnstormer will be in that yellow tent as well.

 

[Timothy_Q]

Yes, it is. FastPass distribution for The Barnstormer will be in that yellow tent as well.

I thought Barnstormer would only have FP+. Will it have regular FP as well?
